Philippines One Two by the end of the year?

[D4thincarnation]

Nonito will not be near the top 5 as long as Pacquiao, Martinez, JMM, Mayweather, and The Klitchko's are still fighting!Maybe in a few years!!

The batamweight division arguably is the most competitive division and it is packed with talent.

If Donaire beats Montiel then beats the batamweight tourney winner and another top fighter then how can Marquez or Martinez compete without stepping up.

K- Brothers no chance.

fucc no as long as b-hop, mayweather, martinez and JMM are still fighting

Don't think Donaire will break the top 3 unless he brutally takes out Montiel early then goes on to an equally impressive win later this year.

Well thats the first part done

Could we see a Philippines one two in the P4P list by the end of the year?

Pacquiao at the moment is well clear at the top of the p4p list but there is another star from the Philippines that is in the p4p top 10 at the moment.

2011 could be a very big year Nonito Donaire, his career has stalled a bit since his very impressive KO of Vic Darchinyan in 2007 to claim the IBF fly weight champ.

But since then he has not really had the big fights his talent deserves, but all that changes on 19th of February 2011 when he takes on the toughest challenge of his career in another p4p top ten boxer, the WBC and WBO batamweight champ Fernando Montiel.

Montiel is in that elite group of Mexican 3 weight world champions, winning titles at fly, super fly, and batam is the real deal. He had a great year in 2010 with four fight and four KOs the most impressive being against Hasegawa in their unification match up. Montiel has only lost twice neither were decisive one a SD the other a MD.

Montiel is still very underrated, he is a great technician but also posses great power as Hasegawa found out to his detriment.


Montiel vs Donaire is by far the best fight that has been announced this year, the winner could rightly lay claim to the P4P no.2 spot.

Donaire who looked so impressive against Sydorenko with his great shot selection barely wasted a punch, and showed his huge power speed and his boxing brain.

If Donaire comes away with the win we could see in the ranking a Philippines one two in the p4p ranking, which will be very impressive IMO.

It should be 1-2 right now.

Its possible, and I for one think it would be cool as hell. But as it stands, I have him in the top 5, not top two. But the kid has nothing but upside to him, and depending on what happens with his next fight and with Sergio's next fight, anything could happen.

It should be 1-2 right now.

HUGE statement coming from you, Cliff

[Seleção No. 13]

If Mayweather stays inactive and Martinez fights not so steller opponents for the rest of the year, I see Donaire getting up there by unifying the bantamweight division.
